"Chelsea" team S.Eto'o salary decreased by more than double © EuroFootball.com

"Anzhi" club owner Suleiman Kerimov's wishes to significantly cut the team's budget and say goodbye to the most expensive team players hit the pocket of forward Samuel Eto'o the most. Legendary Cameroonian forward earned as much as 17 million pounds sterling per season in Russia and was the highest-paid player in the world. It is reported that S. Eto'o, who almost transferred to Chelsea in London for next to nothing, had to settle for "only" 7 million pounds sterling. The forward arrived in Russia two years ago when the owner of "Anzhi" paid 27 million euros to the Milan "Inter" team for him. Formerly, the football player has played for clubs like Barcelona, Espanyol, Mallorca, and Real Madrid."
